You get a clue. This did not have to be. This is the Trumpers fault. No masks really?? Non invasive. No vaccines but take Horse and cow meds. Really? In 2020 we could have controlled this, but no Trumpers and their "freedoms". Trumpers are destroying our country. Trumpers are complete sub humans. |
(liberal speaking) you are a caricature of a liberal. Please settle down you make the rest of us look bad. |
+100 These panic porn threads are getting a bit tiresome. |
+1. And sorry, but masks are very invasive. You speak only for yourself when you say that you don't mind wearing them. |
My God you people are so vapid, and to think people like you are so prolific these days. It's like Covid gave every loser in the country a license to be a vocal moron. |
| Back to the topic, my DD is very sick at UVA. Went to the student health center and the doc said probably a cold. He tested her for COVID and she’ll find out tomorrow morning. He told her tons of kids are sick but the vast majority are not testing positive. |
I’m sorry, and I hope she feels better soon and that it is indeed just a cold. |
|
Makes you wonder if it’s a new variant… |
| I’m in Charlottesville and teaching at UVA. There is no problem as OP’s hearsay tries to infer. Ignore. All was handled well last year. All is being handled well this year. |
As we are seeing with RSV and children, there are definitely consequences to sequestering these students for 18 months. They haven’t been exposed to covid, but they also haven’t been exposed to anything else. It’s not surprising that they’d see a bump in the usual college crud. Besides, the vast majority of the covid positives at Duke were asymptomatic, and if the positivity rate at UVA is 5%, it’s not likely that they’re missing a ton of cases. |
Agree. ^^^Exhibit A. |
Seek help. You are completely unhinged. |
Some will die, some will have shortened lives, some will have chronic conditions and some will not be able to have families or hold a job. In the end, a lot of family lines will die off and human population will be significantly culled. It will be great for the Earth. |
Thank you, test results back with in 12 hours and she’s negative. |

It's not surprising to me that they are all getting sick with something, now living in close proximity to a lot of other people for the first time in a year and a half. That doesn't mean throw in the towel and eliminate residential colleges. Most of this sickness is not testing out to be covid.
The same thing happened when my DD worked at a sleepaway camp this summer. All staff were vaccinated plus tested before they arrived. One week in they all had an awful cold (tested, not covid) and then a bunch got strep. I think everyone's immune systems are not in great shape, having not had to deal with the run-of-the-mill bugs for so long. |
